Interventional Radiology

Interventional Radiology is a medical specialty that uses image-guided, minimally invasive diagnostic and treatment techniques that are often an alternative to surgery. Interventional radiologists are highly trained in imaging, radiation safety, the performance of medical procedures, and patient management. Penn's Interventional Radiology Division offers the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of diseases using minimally invasive techniques. Many conditions that previously required traditional open surgery can now be treated with small catheters or other devices guided by radiologic imaging, allowing for a faster recovery, and a less costly procedure.

Pathology

Radiation Oncology

If radiation therapy is recommended, you'll receive a consultation with a Penn radiation oncologist who is a leader in the management of GI cancers. They're recognized for techniques that target radiation precisely to the tumor site while sparing normal tissue.

Surgery

Penn surgeons pioneered methods of treatment and postoperative care that are now used throughout the nation for GI cancer. Our surgeons are nationally recognized for conservative procedures, such as laproscopy and sphincter-sparing surgery for rectal cancer. They also developed nutritional support standards that are crucial to patient care both during and after treatment.
